The Cuban espresso is the house identity here, not the food. Order the cappuccino.

Redroaster St James's Street★★★ Purist

Brighton's original specialty roastery, 25 years in and still roasting daily on vintage Diedrich machines. The cup and the roaster are in the same room.

St James's Street Coffee★ Everyday

Takeaway only, no tables, no named roaster. The flat whites and cappuccinos are precise enough that regulars treat this as their Brighton benchmark.

Portland★ Everyday

Portland fits Kemptown like the pottery on its walls. The coffee is deliberately mellow, the flat whites are well-made, and the regulars have claimed their corners for a reason.
